Internet Archive's Brewster Kahle gets SIIA recognition

The creator of the Internet Archive is being awarded for his work and foresight by the Software and Information Industry Association, the association announced Tuesday.

While SIIA's membership is made up of chiefly large organizations, Kahle's ideas have made a major impact in the SIIA community.

"Our members are really inspired by his forward thinking and view in what he is trying to do with content, and where he thinks the Internet is going," Greenler Sexton said. "There is a lot of learning that can be had between something that is very consumer-focused and something that is focused on the enterprise."
